Yale/Harvard pregame report

At the Bright Hockey Center in Boston tonight, and fighting a ferocious cough after nearly freezing to death at Thompson Arena in Hanover, N.H. last night.

No. 1 Yale (13-1, 7-0) goes for its ninth straight win; Harvard is struggling mightily at 3-10, 2-8. Of course, the Bright Center has never been an easy place for Yale, just 4-36-3 at Bright since the arena opened in 1980. But the Bulldogs have been better there under coach Keith Allain, with two wins in four regular season games leading into tonight.

Only one lineup change. Chris Cahill, a late scratch last night, returns to join Andrew Miller and Brian O'Neill. Antoine Laganiere, who scored one of the Bulldogs two goals Friday, is out.
